Okorocha said Uzodinma acted arrogantly by declaring during the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council inauguration that he would be on the ballot in 2027.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okorocha said, “The day of our inauguration for the PCC, Hope Uzodinma, before the President, announced that, ‘I will be on the ballot.’ That was so arrogant of anybody to say what is in court. You have already decided that you are going to win.
“When the matter is in court, you must allow the court to take a decision. You are not the court, so you can’t arrogate to yourself the power of knowing what’s going to happen.”
This comes as the Federal High Court in Abuja declared Okorocha the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate for the Imo West senatorial seat in the forthcoming election.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu had ruled that Uzodinma should stop parading himself as the winner of the APC senatorial primary conducted on May 18 and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The judge held that evidence presented before the court established that Okorocha won the majority of votes cast in the primary.
